Proposition: If the set of functions $ phi_1, phi_2,... $ has the property that
$ f = 0 $ is the only function with that all its Fourier Coefficients are zero, that
is
$C_n= 0 $ $ forall n in mathbbN$. Then $ phi_1, phi_2,... $ is complete



Where $$ C_n = frac int_a^b fphi_n dx int_a^b phi_n^ 2 dx $$



we say that the set of functions $phi_1,phi_2,... $ is complete. If $$ lim_Nrightarrow infty int_a^b Big(f-sum_n=1^NC_nphi_n Big)^2 dx = 0 $$



for every function $f$ with the property that ( $f$ is square-integrable. )$$ int_a^b f^2 dx < infty$$



I don't how any idea how to prove this.

how would you prove this? ^_^

          In your definition of completeness, in the integral it should be the absolute value squared, if you also want to deal with complex-valued functions.



          Suppose $f$ is a square-integrable function with all Fourier coefficients zero. Then by your definition of completeness,
          $$0=lim_Ntoinftyint_a^b|f-sum_n=1^NC_nphi_n|^2,dx=int_a^b|f|^2,dx$$
          which implies that $f=0$ in $L^2(a,b)$.



          It follows that the only function orthogonal to all the basis elements is the zero function.
